Hedman Hedders, began as a one man shop in 1954. Bob Hedman, founder of Hedman Hedders, sold his highly sought after exhaust tubes to fellow racers on the salt flats of the Mojave Desert. But, what started out as a way to make a few bucks to pay for Bob's racing hobby, quickly turned into the premier hedder manufacturer for both the racing and street hedder marketplaces. Originally designed for straightline drag racers, word spread quickly about Hedman's reputation for building hedders that gave you the best boost in power for your dollar. It wasn't long before Hedman Hedders was the brand of choice among racing's elite engine builders, racers and race series. Familiar names like Don Garlits, Warren Johnson, Shirley Muldowney, Bob Chandler and his BIG FOOT Race Team, and the IROC series. Hedman Hedders constantly reshapes itself to meet environmental requirements and incorporates computer technology to ensure that its products offer the best performance improvement. Whether you're a Pro or sportsman racer, Hedman Hedders builds your hedder with one goal in mind, optimum performance. Even if you're not a racer, the lessons Hedman learns at the track and on the dyno, make it into every street hedder we design.

solar lights
I am in need of walkway lighting. The problem is my walkway is on the east side of the house and gets no sun in the winter (plenty in the summer) Any ideas for a solar panel that sits on the west side.
Not that there isn't some sun, I lift my solar lights in October and set them out when the sun returns in May.
For the 3 months January - March I'm at my winter home in Florida anyway so I don't miss them.
There are solar panels that do not need direct sunlight, but do need bright light. I have a couple of calculators that work from the house lights and not sunlight.
As long as there is light on the east side of your house those lights should work.
The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees.
There are solar yard lights with a separate solar panel, good for shady locations.
Something like in link below?
I have some cheap Walmart solar walk lights. One doesn't get any direct sun but still works most of the night. Think I paid $3 for it & I've had it going on 2 yrs.
"The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion
Have you considered electric lights with a timer? You could set them for when you know you need the lighting. With summer coming, you wouldn't need them long in Texas each evening.
We have tried several solar varieties and none of them last for more than a few yrs, nor do they give out enough light. If your budget prefers the solar styles, do your research. And definitely buy from a store that will let you return them. And on a walkway, I recommend something that is short next to the walkway or tall if put back from the edges.

101 E Carson St, Pittsburgh, PA | Directions 1521940.430594 -80.000213
Neighborhoods: South Shore
WONDERFUL PLACE!!! – These guys are great!!! My son had a flat in Pittsburgh at 8:15 on a Tues night going up to Mount Washington. I found these guys on the internet with 2 good reviews so I called them at 7AM. My son had the car there at 8:30 and he was on the road, back to State College, before 9:30. Can't say enough good about them.
nice people – Just stopped in to get some prices on new tires the other day and was surpised how friendly the gentlemen were that were working there. Very polite and patient with me and my kids!! Will def be back to purchase my tires soon!
fantasic service. great prices and honest customer service – my regular mechanic rotated my tires while i was in for a tune up before i headed out on a long raod trip.when i picked up my car i noticed my tire was looking low. i figured when i got back from my trip i would drive to alberts to get my tire repaired or replaced. ive been going to alberts since 1999 when a friend reccomended i go there for tires. he told me how close they were to home and how quick the srvice was. tires, tires, tires! thats all i ever purchased from or talked to dean about (deans the owner). in ten years ive had tires repaired and tires replaced, ive had every question i could thin of answered at alberts. i wasnt aware that in 2002 my tire shop became a full service auto care shop.
on my last visit i asked dean "let me get this staight, you provide tune ups, complete exhaust service, batteries, suspension service, alignments, brakes, oil changes..... everything!" dean smiled and replied "yep we do it all". i lifted my head and looked at the service maquis and wondered why i never seen it before.
needless to say i have trusted alberts tire with the most important thing on my car, my tires! now i trust him with everything on my vehicle. the price is right and the srvice is impecable! i have always been treated like a v.i.p.
if you havent visited alberts in a while, or if youved walked in thinking all they specialize in is tires, i encourage you to take a look at how they use that super-big garage these days!

SOURCE Urban Science
-- Number of U.S. dealerships and franchises remains virtually flat year over year
-- Slight franchise decline attributed to Suzuki closures
-- 2013 throughput shatters 2012 record
DETROIT, Feb. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Urban Science released statistics and insights today from its 2013 Automotive Franchise Activity Report, which shows a very slight decrease in the number of dealerships in the U.S. and projects the network will remain stable for a fourth straight year. As of Jan. 1, 2014, there were 17,838 dealerships (rooftops), a 0.1 percent decrease from 17,851 as of Jan. 1, 2013.
"Over the last five years, the dealership network has set a new normal pattern," said John Frith, vice president, Urban Science. "Maintaining this very conservative rate has allowed the U.S. network to continue its impressive increase in sales per dealer, creating a healthy and right-sized retail structure that benefits the dealers and automakers."
The dealership count has a large impact on the profitability of individual dealers because of its relationship to throughput, the average number of sales per dealership. Based on 2013 vehicle sales of 15.6 million, Urban Science's analysis shows throughput increased to an average of 874 sales per dealership, an uptick of 62 sales per dealership from last year's average of 812 and significantly higher than the recent low of 564 sales per dealership in 2009. Urban Science estimates that if 2014 vehicle sales reach 16.15 million, as projected by LMC Automotive, average sales per dealer will shatter the current all-time high and increase to an astounding 914. However, Urban Science expects these peaks to ultimately settle into "normal" throughput levels of around 850.
Data shows that more than 96 percent of local markets had virtually no net change over 2013. However, the most significant dealership increases occurred in California, with 34 new dealerships, and Texas, with 15 new dealerships. These two states also showed the greatest increases in 2012.
As of Jan. 1, 2014, there was a total of 31,440 franchises (brands a dealership sells), a 0.5 percent decrease from 31,608 as of Jan. 1, 2013. This slight decrease can be attributed largely to the closure of 220 Suzuki franchises.
"When it comes to the number of dealerships and franchises, there's no question we're in the midst of a very comfortable balance with sales," said Frith. "We see no indication that any dramatic changes are to be expected in the near future."
About the Automotive Franchise Activity Report
Urban Science maintains a list of current new-vehicle dealership and franchise information for all car and light-truck brands in the United States. Compiled on a monthly basis, the census is the most reliable source of dealership statistics. The data comes from a variety of sources, including feeds from automotive manufacturers as well as phone and field verification. Urban Science has been collecting this information since 1990 and compiles a yearly analysis every February for the previous year in its annual Automotive Franchise Activity Report.

ZEBRA MUSSELS FOUND IN CLINTON RESERVOIR - TOPEKA, Kan. – The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) has confirmed the presence of zebra mussels in Clinton Reservoir in Douglas County. An adult population was discovered by KDWPT fisheries staff during routine fish sampling activities, and a subsequent survey of other locations around the lake indicated the population was widespread. Twenty-two Kansas lakes have now been confirmed to have zebra mussels. Other reservoirs in northeast Kansas with zebra mussel infestations include Milford, Perry, John Redmond and Melvern.

- Our Venomous Snakes have a new home. As many of you know for the past 18 years we've housed three of the most common venomous snakes found on our area. The Timber Rattlesnake, Copperhead and Massasauga Rattlesnake. On 11/13/13 they were donated to the Fort Hays State University Sternberg Museum of Natural History. If your travels takes you out that way stop in and visit them.
OK Kid's Day - Was a HUGE success! We had 138 Kids registered for the morning Fishing Derby on Saturday. With winners like 3 year old first time fisherman, Parker Kroenke who won the biggest fish award. A 17 inch Catfish! Way to go Parker!
Other winners...
- First Fish Caught - Matt Foster (15 inch Catfish who also caught 9 other fish)
- Smallest Fish Caught - AJ Powell (4 3/4 inch Blue Gill)
- Most Fish Caught - Cayden Dittmer (4 fish)
- Most Unusual Thing Caught - A Turtle
We had a blast at the evening Animal Show-n-Tell. 64 Kids, their parents and/or grandparents or other family members attended. After a fun filled evening learning about native turtles and snakes each child had to have a bag to carry all of their goodies. Many prizes were distributed and fun was had by ALL! "Slick" our Coachwhip snake was a big hit, as always! He posed for pictures and even convinced a few who thought they weren't interested in touching or holding a snake do so.
Looks for pictures on our Facebook page.

Our State Park IS open year round for camping.
Our State Park is located on an 80-foot bluff, so the camping is not near the water, but access to the water may be obtained. In addition to camping facilities, we have a beach area, 4 boat ramps, fish cleaning station, 20 miles of hiking/biking trails, picnic area, 6 shelters, archery range, frisbee golf and the Clinton Marina is located here at the State Park. Sites in both campgrounds are flanked by wooded areas on at least 3 sides. (So plenty of shade to go around.) Most sites in either campground are large enough to accommodate up to 70 Ft. trailer.
WINTER MONTHS... Water at Camp Sites shut off in Mid October to Mid November (weather permitting), but WATER is still available at Frost Free Hydrants, a dump station and a Shower House in CG#3.

Campground information
Clinton State Park offers 387 improved campsites located in two campgrounds, 240 have water and electricity, the rest are primitive. Regular utility sites have 30amp service while "Prime Sites" have 50amp electric available. Campsites vary in size from smaller primitive campsites, 20'x40' to the larger Prime Sites, 30'x70'. All are outfitted with picnic tables and campfire rings or BBQ grills. As in most campgrounds some sites offer more shade than others, but most are in or near the tree line. The campgrounds at Clinton were built on high bluffs well above the shoreline. This type of development protects the areas from flooding, but makes lake access directly from the campsites difficult if not impossible.
Reservations may be made by visiting reserveamerica.com. (Type in our Zip Code of 66049 to find us the fastest!) The interactive web-site that will provide detailed descriptions and pictures of individual campsites. Sites in both campgrounds may be reserved. All others are on a first come first service basis. Reservations are convenient and guarantee an available campsite, but not particularly necessary except on major holidays. (Reserving on a holiday requires a 5 night stay.)
And there's plenty to do while you're here.
The park has over 25 miles of multi-use recreation trails, hiking and mountain biking. It is frequently said Clinton offers some of the most technically challenging and physically demanding mountain bike trails in the mid-west.
To round out the biking experience we offer a "Mountain Bike Skills Course". It's a virtual playground for the more technically skilled biker. Similar to a trials course it provides the opportunity to test your finesse with a bit of a thrill as a bonus. Views of the beautiful lake, shoreline and surrounding lands make your hike or bike workout a real sensory treat.
Or, if a leisurely hike or walk is more your taste there are miles of paved road to accommodate you, or a 3/4 mile self guided nature trail through the prairie.
So as not to leave out the "alternative trail enthusiast" we offer a five mile cross country ski trail that's a unique Kansas experience when mother nature cooperates.
The park has one of the only outdoor archery ranges in the area. Six shooting lanes with soft targets at 20, 40 and 60 yards offer the chance to hone your skills at "target shooting" or for that all important pre-hunting season tune up for you or your equipment.
Disc Golf
There is a disc golf course located in the park. A 9 hole course with some very challenging tee shots, fairways and greens. It's literally carved through the timber and prairie so, you had better have a keen eye and good spotters or plenty of discs to spare.
The Water
Clinton Reservoir has some of the most beautiful water in Kansas, clear, clean and always ready for your boating or fishing fun. A day on Clinton Lake is never a disappointment. Sixteen boat ramp lanes, eight courtesy docks and lighted parking areas make the access a breeze.
If big water fishing isn't your thing there are two smaller ponds in the park. "Lake Henry" is a quiet secluded four acre pond built in the 1940's with healthy populations of sunfish, largemouth bass and channel catfish. And during the trout season its well stocked with trout. The "Prairie Pond" a 3/4 acre kid's only fishing pond stocked with sunfish and channel catffish that guarantees fun for the little fisherman in your group.
You may want to cool off at the beach too. The park has a sand beach and swimming area. It's part of the lake so feel free to moor your boat outside the buoy line or take the trail from the parking lot and get wet.
No commentary on Clinton Lake would be complete without a word about the "Clinton Lake Marina". Located in the state park it's one of the finest marinas in the country. Annual and daily rental boat slips, secure dry storage, a retail shop, boat rentals and a deli round out the operation. The marina is neat and clean it's well kept and professionally operated, you won't find a better selection to fit your boating needs or friendlier service anywhere.
As of April 2013 we now have SEVEN cabins available to reserve.... Chicken Creek, Camp Creek, Deer Creek, Coon Creek, Washington Creek, Elk Creek and Wakarusa River Cabins sit atop a high bluff overlooking Clinton Reservoir with a view as far as the eye can see. From the front porch the vistas are stunning; as miles of rugged timbered shoreline roll on beautiful sunsets illuminate a western skyline with Clinton Lake's solitary "Pelican Island" centered in this breathtaking view.
Faux log siding, a large sitting porch and concrete parking and patio areas come together to create a homey yet rustic appeal. The spacious three room air conditioned and heated cabins offer all the amenities necessary for a comfortable stay. Accommodations include a full service eat in kitchen, 3/4 bath and master bedroom. The One Bedroom cabin features the added pull down twin "Murphy bed" and fold out futon bed the cabin comfortably sleeps six people. Our Two Bedroom cabin (Wakarusa River) will sleep eight people comfortably and features a second bedroom with two sets of bunk beds. All you'll need to complete the experience are your linens, bed pillows, bath towels, food and toiletries.
Check out the cabin reservation information, rates and procedures at www.reserveamerica.com (Type in our zip code of 66049 to find us the fastest.)

Rated 5 out of 5 by ForeverWest It Keeps You Dry & Comfortable I purchased one of these for trout fishing a couple years ago in Realtree Max 4 camo. The material is not really suited for hunting if you need to be quiet, but the fish don't care and works out well for waterfowl hunting. I have worn this during everything from a light drissle, heavy downpour and snow about a dozen times. It has kept me dry & comfortable everytime without fail. I purchased my normal size and i fit very well over my clothing. The hood is large enough to allow good head movement with a hat and stay in place. I consider this an excellent product for performace, fit and price. August 30, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by NoBullFroggs Starched Paper The Bull Frogg rain jacket arrived as promised. The texture of the material resembled starched paper. It was extremely uncomfortable. Jacket ran 1 1/2 to 2 sizes large. Never bothered to find out if thing was waterproof. The Baltimore store accepted the return without question. Wonderful customer service - terrible product. June 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ShakySmith Frogg Togg jacket Great fit and a lot of features to keep one dry in a hard rain. Material is stiff but it might get more plyable with use. Pockets are a little far back on the sides to use easily. May 28, 2013

Can you tell to us about Squid Jigging Trip at Terengganu
Hi, I'm JC here. Can i check with you guy , if I take flight from Singapore to K.Terengganu Airport ,after that i would take bus to Paka. What's your suggestion?
Where the good Indian food shops?

Hello! I'm planning a 3-day trip to Langkawi in a couple of weeks and looking into hotels. I'm planning on doing a couple of day tours to Pulau Payar and the Cable Car, so I want to make sure I stay somewhere where I can easily be picked up, since I will be traveling alone. I'm currently looking at the Aseania or faveHotel. Any suggestions?? Thanks!

is there a shopping mall with a lot of things to buy in gambang ?
What are the buses leaving from Ipoh to Trengganu, the times and the fare./
My husband and I will be visiting Tioman Island and we were planning on flying there from Singapore, however due to Berjaya air cancelling their service will now need to go by ferry. We land at Singapore airport at 07.15am on 10 April and I'm having trouble finding the best route to the Mersing Ferry Jetty. Would anyone be able to advise on the best trip in the current situation?
Changi airport offers a coach service to Kotaraya II terminal. Is it easy to get from there to the Larkin Bus Terminal (is this now called Larkin Sentral, and in a slightly different place), or should I instead take a bus or taxi into Singapore center and take a bus from there to Larkin?
Which coach should I take from Larkin to Mersing? Do I need to pre-book? I understand booking from Mersing back to Singapore would be a good idea to make sure you have a seat.
I'm of a mind to take a taxi to not have the hassle of all the changing and making sure we get to the jetty on time (even though I still don't know what time the boat leaves, that's another interesting part of our journey!). I have been offered a pre-booked return (Changi-Mersing-Changi) for S$350; is that reasonable or should I look for local taxis instead?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Hello there! I'm actually seaching for a van wif chauffeur to take us to Penang and our destinations. Actually it's about 17persons going(not confirm yet), maybe a van which can take about 13persons? I would like to know the prices pls. The date will be on 9-10June or 10-11June.
Advices pls? Urgent!

Transgressions ranged from serious legal violations to typos that led to unintended data collection, according to documents supplied to The Washington Post.
A Europe-based group campaigning for better privacy protection on Facebook says it will take the Irish government to court over what it considers a half-baked audit.

If you're looking to put money to work, Jim Keenan of BlackRock thinks you can't do much better than high yield.
In case you're not familiar with high yield bonds, they are bonds with a lower credit rating than investment-grade bonds. Because of the higher risk of default, these bonds pay a higher yield.
Keenan, however, thinks the risk is manageable. He thinks with corporate profits looking strong and the US economy showing signs of strength, high yield is an attractive place to play.
Although Keenan didn't mentioned any specific investment, one of many ideas that would meet the criteria is the HYG.

Your Big Data training experience shouldn't be limited to deep-dive tutorials and great Big Data classes. You also deserve some high-level inspiration and vision on the future of Big Data technologies. At Big Data TechCon we've assembled a trio of keynote speakers who will inspire and challenge you, as well as take you into some of the most advanced Big Data companies in the world. Buckle your seat belts and prepare to be transported!
Big Data is (at least) Four Different Problems
Our ability to mine and analyze 'Big Data' has yet to catch up to our ability to generate and collect it. Moreover "Big Data" and "Big Analytics" mean different things to different people. This keynote from one of Big Data's rock stars unpacks the Big Data problem into four distinct domains: Big volumes of data with SQL analytics, Big volumes of data with complex analytics, Big velocity, Big diversity.
Dr. Michael Stonebraker has been a pioneer of data base research and technology for more than a quarter of a century. He is widely recognized as one of the world's foremost experts in database technology and is noted for his insight in operating systems and expert systems.
Over his career, Mike has been both a professor and leading architect for prototype development. He was the main architect of the INGRES relational DBMS, the object-relational DBMS, POSTGRES, and the federated data system, Mariposa. All three prototypes were developed at the University of California at Berkeley where he was a Professor of Computer Science for 25. He is the founder of three successful Silicon Valley startups, whose objective was to commercialize these prototypes. Additionally, Mike has authored scores of research papers on database technology, operating systems and the architecture of system software services.
Mike is presently an Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at M.I.T., where he is working on a variety of future-generation data-oriented projects. He is co-director of the new Intel Science and Technology Center at MIT CSAIL focusing on Big Data Analytics.
Mike is also a co-founder of eight software startups, including Streambase, Vertica Systems, VoltDB, Goby, and Paradigm4. He was awarded the prestigious ACM System Software Award in 1992 for his work on INGRES, the first annual Innovation award by the ACM SIGMOD special interest group in 1994, and the IEEE John Von Neumann award in 2005. Mike was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1997 and to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2010.
Addition in the large:
Simple counts and not-so-simple counts
Counting is the first mathematics most of us learn, but we move beyond. In this keynote we talk about the power of counting, some of the properties that make it work well at scale, and then we'll move on to large scale data on a memory budget. How can something like a count tell us how many distinct visitors we had in a period of time? How can we make and use approximate counts to build scalable analytics? We'll take a tour of state of the art approximation techniques and see examples of the kinds of data-products they enable. Finally, we'll discuss how to implement these schemes in real-time and on Hadoop.
Improve, don't abuse: Use Big Data for your customers, not against them
Social networks are able to collect large amounts of activity data from their user and customer base. As Big Data professionals, we conduct experiments on custom data sets to measure the effectiveness of our products or advertising methodologies. Since a social network is effectively useless without an active community, our companies owe it to their users to create new and better products based on this information. Learn how our data analysis and predictive analytics must take a different approach than Big Data in fields like finance, medicine, and defense.
Adam Laiacano is a Data Scientist and Engineer at Tumblr, a blogging network with over 90 million blogs, where he's responsible for collecting and analyzing large volumes of data to gain a better understanding of trends and activity within the Tumblr community. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Northeastern University, and designed signal detection systems for low-power atomic clocks before joining Tumblr.

text: A pretty basic soundtrack, but with some nice moments by Ortolani – done around the time he recorded the more famous soundtrack for Mondo Cane. The album does have some nice tunes with weird jazzy instrumentation – kind of nightclubby numbers with a mix of jazz and loungey styles – and solos on sax or piano, with some occasional bongo lines - almost like jazzy moments in Nino Rota scores. Titles include "He Or She?", "The Rites Of Sex", "Twist 84", "The Glutton", "The Steam Bath", "At The Shrine", and "The Debutantes". (White label promo.

It's not difficult to teach your dog to happily settle in a crate, and to guide you, here are 10 tips for quick and effective crate training.
Choose a suitable crate for your dog when he is fully grown. It may appear to be too large for your baby puppy, and will be more costly than a small crate, but your canine companion isn't going to be that little forever. Buying a big crate will spare you further expense in the future, because youwon't need to purchase a larger crate when your dog grows out of his smaller crate. Keep in mind as well where you plan on keeping the crate. Dog crate furniture provides an alternative to the wire and plastic crates typically purchased but serves as a piece of your furniture as well as a crate.

For the fifth year in a row, we have interviewed top representatives of leading firms active in the Czech market. A total of 138 Czech business leaders participated in this year's Czech CEO survey. This local report is a follow-up on PwC's 17th annual Global CEO Survey, unveiled at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The Czech CEO Survey 2014 showed that thoughts on the crisis, which were very common during the past five years, have been replaced by a new challenge – achieving a new reality. The new reality is as demanding as the recent period. However, CEOs' increasing confidence indicates that, certain doubts aside, they do believe in success. Entering new industries could help them to achieve it.
After five years, it's time for CEOs to give up brooding on the crisis and fully concentrate on how to be successful in the new reality. The directors' answers show that they've already started. For the first time in the five-year history of the CEO Survey, all respondents showed at least some confidence that sales would be growing in 3 years. Over a 12-month horizon, 95% of respondents at least partly believe in growth.
"The CEOs' responses don't radiate crisis any more but rather a healthy individual effort to get ahead. Yes, companies facing tougher competition must be more efficient and innovative, but many examples show that one can succeed. In addition, success in a challenging environment confirms the right business model and a healthy corporate culture that supports innovation and good ideas."
Jiří Moser Country Managing Partner, PwC Czech Republic
"Organic growth is difficult and long term, so when expanding into new industries, companies often buy established players. Generally, they decide for acquisitions in a sector which will enable them to achieve interesting synergies. To reach them, careful analyses of strategies and business models of both companies are essential."
Miroslav Bratrych, Leading Partner, Advisory Services, PwC Czech Republic
"There is significant importance in CEOs' mobility enabling them to gain experience and bringing them to a local environment. At the same time, they must be able to create an environment that motivates people to try new things. That also requires changes in the system of work and performance evaluation so that failure is not punished but taken as a lesson for the future."
Libor Stodola, Human Resource Management, PwC Czech Republic
"Risk management is the only field where the parent companies make key decisions about their Czech subsidiaries, according to local CEOs. Two-fifths of respondents put more effort into it than in the past. If this reflects the whole Czech market, it's a good result. But from my own experience, I know that domestic enterprises themselves still underestimate risk management and concentrate on putting out fires, rather than preventing them."
Tomáš Kuča, Leading Partner, Risk Assurance Solutions, PwC Czech Republic
"I see many opportunities for the new government to take further steps towards a more userfriendly tax system where citizens and companies willing to pay taxes are considered as good clients. Examples of such measures may be a call centre, methodological support and increased use of electronic communications and e-audits."
Peter Chrenko, Leading Partner, Tax and Legal Services, PwC Czech Republic
"Businesses are relying on the greater certainty of well-known markets. Our experience from collaborating with Czech companies shows that entering foreign markets is a crucial decision in the life of a company. Mastering the new business environment, a different tax or legal system and specific customer requirements poses a long-term investment—not just financial—which requires courage. The expected recovery of the global economy as well as the Czech one should encourage companies to take such a step into the unknown."
Věra Výtvarová, Leading Partner, Assurance Services, PwC Czech Republic
"The survey results confirm how crucial the right human resources planning is in the short and medium term. At the same time, the need to review prepared succession plans arises with respect to creating opportunities for internal promotions."
Libor Stodola, Human Resource Management, PwC Czech Republic
"Confidence that the economy will grow again is the first step to ensuring that companies have begun to re-invest and recruit. I believe that increasing optimism will gradually transform itself into an increase in demand, and thus into new orders."
Jiří Moser, Country Managing Partner, PwC Czech Republic
"From the perspective of CEOs, the three biggest opportunities for innovation create a logical triangle: when processes don't work and when employee motivation fails, control mechanisms fail as well. The logical consequence is corruption - one of the three greatest business threats, according to CEOs."
Karel Půbal, Director, Public Sector Consulting Services, PwC Czech Republic
"Five years is a minimum, which can really show tangible results for major projects. The shorter planning horizon, rather preferred in the responses of Czech CEOs, reflects the fact that they have been focusing mainly on savings and greater efficiency. But it can also be due to a lack of vision and long-term strategies in Czech companies."
